Haruki Murakami _ 1Q84
It is as evil as we are positive...the more desperately we try to be good and wonderful and perfect, the more the Shadow develops a definite will to be black and evil and destructive... The fact is that if one tries beyond one's capacity to be perfect, the Shadow descends to hell and becomes the devil.

Haruki Murakami _ 1Q84
Bir fare çatı katında kocaman bir erkek kedi ile karşılaşır. Farenin kaçabileceği hiç bir yer kalmamıştır, köşeye sıkışmıştır. Fare titreyerek kediye şöyle der: Kedi Bey, lütfen beni yeme. Ailemin yanına dönmem lazım. Çocuklarım karnı aç beni bekler, lütfen beni görmemiş ol. Kedi yanıt verir: Endişelenme, seni yiyecek değilim. İşin doğrusu, yüksek sesle söyleyemem ama ben vejetaryenim. Asla et yemem. Bu yüzden benimle karşılaşmış olman, senin için bir şans. Fare yanıtlar: Oh ne kadar mükemmel bir gün, ne kadar şanslı bir fareyim ben. Vejetaryen bir kediyle karşılaştım. Fakat hemen sonrasında kedi fareye saldırır, patisiyle yere bastırır. Keskin dişlerini boğazına geçirir. Fare acı içerisinde son nefesinde kediye sorar: İyi de, hani sen vejetaryendin? Asla et yemediğini söylemedin mi? Yalan mı söyledin? Kedi yalanarak yanıtlar: Ha, ben, et yemem. Bu yalan değil. Bu yüzden seni götürüp marulla takas edeceğim.

Haruki Murakami _ 1Q84
The total amount of time available is especially limited. The clock is ticking as we speak. Time rushes past. Opportunities are lost right and left. If you have money, you can buy time. You can even buy freedom if you want. Time and freedom: those are the most important things that people can buy with money.

And it was the kind of thing that loses the most important nuances when reduced to words. He had never told anyone about it, and he probably never would.
